0.2 Hoy to Gilchrist, one run, stoutly driven past mid off, well stopped and just a single
0.3 Hoy to Katich, OUT, my word! Katich gone already, it's not been a good Cup for him...attempts the same shot but it's a bottom edge which Dauth holds on to, one down for one!
Code:
SM Katich c Dauth b Hoy 0 (1b)
Score: 1/1
0.4 Hoy to Ponting, two runs, nicely off the mark, we know what these two are capable of, double ton partnership v India a couple of days ago
0.6 Hoy to Gilchrist, no run, beaten outside off, end of a fine over
2.4 Hoy to Ponting, FOUR, first boundary, a bit short outside the off and a square cut from Ponting flies through the packed off side field, nothing to do there
3.3 Patrick to Gilchrist, wide, uh oh, swings all too much and goes away from the batsman, umpire calls wide despite Chaulk taking the ball, sloppy bowling and an extra conceded
4.2 Hoy to Ponting, three runs, driven on the leg side, a good start being thrown away here
7.4 Patrick to Gilchrist, no ball, simple overstepping, more extras haunting CW
8.3 Hoy to Ponting, OUT, huge wicket! inswinger on middle stump, Ponting looks to drive on the off side, top edge goes over Hoy and away in the outfield, but Patrick at long off runs in spectacularly and holds the catch, the seam bowlers collaborate, CW take the wicket at a key time
Code:
RT Ponting c Patrick b Hoy 24 (22b, 1x4)
Score: 47/2
Exciting early overs here...
10.1 Hoy to Martyn, OUT, stunning! Hoy bowls a quick delivery a bit outside the off stump, attempted drive from Martyn, inside edge crashes into middle stump, Hoy has his third!
Code:
NS Hoy b Martyn 2 (8b)
Score: 53/2
10.2 Hoy to Clarke, one run, near reprise! another beautiful delivery outside off and swinging in, nabs the inside edge and goes just past leg stump, beats Chaulk and goes away for a single. Surely not the way Clarke wanted to get off the mark!
11.3 Patrick to Gilchrist, three runs, relieves some pressure with a fine pull shot, stopped in the deep by Pickup
12.6 Hoy to Gilchrist, one run, avoids the maiden with a dab down to backward point.
13.0 Pickup on for Patrick. Spinners really early on here...
14.3 Hoy to Clarke, two runs, that was visibly slower, this eight-over spell has cost them somewhat, still, got three vital wickets out of it
15.3 Pickup to Gilchrist, four wides, horrible googly, pitched that one all wrong and it sails down the leg side, beating everyone and four wides
16.0 Camps on for Hoy.
16.3 Camps to Gilchrist, FOUR, fine drive into the off side, Australia continue to attack here
17.5 Pickup to Gilchrist, three runs, ball stops in the outfield, fine shot and really should have been four
23.0 Halsey on for Pickup. Australia have steadily been taking runs so far, and these bowlers haven't been quite able to exploit it.
23.3 Halsey to Gilchrist, OUT, classic! dares to pitch a classic leg break on leg stump, should really have been swept away and Gilchrist tried just that, bounces over the bat and into off stump, Halsey has a wicket inside three balls!
Code:
AC Gilchrist b Halsey 46 (80b, 1x4)
Score: 105/4
23.5 Halsey to Hussey, two runs, off the mark with a cover drive.
24.5 Camps to Hussey, OUT, and we're beginning to see the tail! slower ball from Camps, drive misjudged and it flies up to Halsey, CW have made the most of these conditions
Code:
MEK Hussey c Halsey b Camps 4 (7b)
Score: 110/5
25.4 Halsey to Clarke, OUT, we're witnessing a collapse! pitched on off stump this time, Clarke tries the gentle dribble down to third man but instead the ball diverts into the gloves of a diving Chaulk, magnificent catch and Australia are looking down and out!
Code:
MJ Clarke c Chaulk b Halsey 27 (34b)
Score: 114/6
It'll take a magnificent batting effort from Lee to turn this around...
25.6 Halsey to Lee, no run, that's close! googly from Halsey hits Lee on the pads, there's a huge appeal all round, umpire says no out of pity
27.4 Halsey to Lee, FOUR, big shot, straight drive that easily goes all the way, Lee fighting back here
27.5 Halsey to Lee, three runs, and again! this time pitched a bit short from Halsey, but same result, except that Lee doesn't contact as well and it's just three
28.5 Camps to Symonds, no ball, FOUR, pull shot from Symonds to a full delivery from Camps, overstepped by a mile there
29.4 Halsey to Lee, OUT, and the game turns again! Just as these two were regaining some composure, Lee takes a suicidal single to mid on, big mix-up and Gilchrist doesn't even know he's running, Lee stranded and it's a simple run out throw from Goff
Code:
B Lee run out (Goff) 9 (12b, 1x4)
Score: 135/7
29.6 Halsey to Gillespie, no run, beaten outside fof and that's a maiden over completed
30.0 Pickup back on for Camps, double leg spin here now
32.3 Pickup to Symonds, OUT, that's the last batsman! inside edge to a textbook leg break, fine delivery but a rather poor shot in the situation, how are Australia going to defend this...
Code:
A Symonds b Pickup 15 (22b, 1x4)
Score: 141/8
32.6 Pickup to Bracken, no run, beaten again, another maiden over
33.4 Halsey to Gillespie, dabbed down the leg side for a single
34.5 Pickup to Bracken, no run, dropped! drive goes straight to Patrick at silly mid off, he fumbles, ball drops down on the ground, they've missed their chance of rounding this off...
35.1 Halsey to Gillespie, OUT, or not! master of defence is bowled! cracking delivery, straight and didn't turn much, but Gillespie never expected the slider, clean bowled!
Code:
JN Gillespie b Halsey 4 (19b)
Score: 143/9
35.6 Halsey to Tait, one run, off the mark with an inside edge
36.0 Hoy back. Time to bounce 'em out.
36.2 Hoy to Tait, three runs, short and he hoiks, makes contact and it's an easy three, well hit by Tait
36.6 Hoy to Tait, three runs, still short of a length but not quite a bouncer, Tait hoiks again and scores more runs, onto 7
38.1 Hoy to Bracken, three runs, not been successful so far...this one wide outside the off stump and smashed for three
38.6 Hoy to Tait, OUT, all forgiven! yorker, Tait attempts the pull shot, nowhere near and that's the fifth man bowled in this innings, a testament to a largely stunning bowling performance, Australia all out for 158!!
Code:
SW Tait b Hoy 9 (18b)
Score: 158 ao
